How to calculate income tax in India

In order to calculate the exact amount of income tax that you must pay, note down your exact taxable income. The final payable tax is calculated by applying the tax rates and then deducting the amount that has already been paid through TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) and other forms of advance tax. Use tax saving calculator, if you want to know the amount you may save form tax.
In India, income tax is levied on individual taxpayers on the basis of a slab system. These tax rates have been prescribed for different slabs and such tax rates keep increasing with an increase in the income slab. The tax slabs tend to undergo a change during every budget. Further, since the budget of 2018 has not announced any changes in income tax slabs this time, it remains the same as that of last year.
There are three categories of individual taxpayers:
1. Individuals (below the age of 60 years) which includes residents as well as non-residents 2. Resident Senior citizens (60 years and above but below 80 years of age)
3. Resident Super senior citizens (above 80 years of age)
Income Tax Slab and Rates for Financial Year 2018-19 are as mentioned below:
- No tax for individuals with income less than ₹ 2,50,000
- 0%-5% tax with income ₹ 2.5 lacs to 5 lacs for different age groups
- 20% tax with income ₹ 5 lacs to 10 lacs
- Investments up to ₹ 1.5 lacs under Section 80C can save ₹ 45,000 in taxes.
